The Curtiss-Wright X-19, company designation Model 200, was an American experimental tiltrotor aircraft of the early 1960s and the last aircraft of any kind manufactured by Curtiss-Wright. It grew out of the X-100, a vertical takeoff transport prototype developed in March 1960, and the Air Force ordered two prototypes. It had fore and aft high-mounted tandem wings, each carrying two 13 ft propellers that could rotate through 90 degrees, driven by twin Avco Lycoming T55-L-5 turboshaft engines in the fuselage. It first flew in November 1963, the first aircraft was destroyed in a crash on 25 August 1965 with no loss of life, and the program was cancelled; the second prototype is stored at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
